Chapter 684: The Great Retreat



Dark Zero didn't hesitate for long, because soon, news came from the rear base camp.

The Black Death Empire has hidden tens of millions of troops in the meteorite belt, and has already defeated the Chang Ai Division, and now the army is driving straight in, heading straight for the Pupil Fire Army, and the most important thing is that these hidden forces are extremely elite, including the new warships that the Lingmu Clan has no intelligence resources, and also all the Black Death Clan's Praetorian Guards.

These news were brought back by the defeated soldiers and generals, who didn't even need to speak in unison, and they described each other as extremely terrifying and extremely powerful.

This can be regarded as an upward and downward effect, one by one, for fear that they will be punished, they try their best to describe the strength of the enemy, and when retreating, Chang Ai's order also played a role in promoting, conservatively saying that the opponent's strength is more than 10 million, and the exaggerated ones are directly countless, and the opponent's huge fleet will cover the starry sky.

The most important thing is that when the defeated army checked, Chang Ai's flagship did not return, and some witnesses said that Chang Ai's flagship was wounded and may have been killed now.

Chang Ai's defeat was too big a blow to the morale of the Lingmu clan.

With so many soldiers who fled back, it was impossible to block the news at all, and the Lingmu clan was actually very afraid of the Black Death Empire by nature, because they had almost lost consecutive battles in the long-term war against the Southern King of the Black Death Empire, and if it weren't for the terrain, it would be impossible to withstand the attack of the Black Death Empire.

And the previous high morale was nothing more than the surrender of the Eternal Line of Defense, and then did not encounter decent resistance along the way.

Many soldiers only now remembered that even the battle of the Eternal Line of Defense was won by relying on the human army, so that Chang Ai's defeat suddenly aroused the fear of all the soldiers of the Black Empire, and the entire Chinese army was also panicked, and the morale was lost three points in vain.

Hitomi Huo, who got the information, was furious and shocked, the Black Death Empire actually had such a force lurking, and his spies didn't even send back any news.

Although the words of the defeated soldiers cannot be fully believed, but, at least there are some things that cannot be faked, for example, the other party has a powerful new warship, the firepower is fierce, slaughtering them is like killing chickens and slaughtering geese, all the soldiers mentioned it, one by one showed fear, this is impossible to fake, and the Praetorian Guard, just imagine, the emperor's close troops are here, so what is impossible to hide a huge elite fleet here

And although Chang Ai is a reckless man, but not mentally retarded, if it is not for the gap in strength is too large, how can it be so miserable, according to the soldiers who ran back, the other side only took a quarter of an hour to defeat the front army, and then they fought all the way without the power to fight back, they "heroically" counterattacked, but unfortunately the enemy was too many, too powerful, outnumbered, and finally defeated.

Let's not mention whether these soldiers really fought bravely, that is, they can defeat an elite fleet of veterans in such a short time, and the strength of the other party will not be bad.

Hitomi even began to wonder if the banner of the Black Emperor on the frontal battlefield was fake, it was purely a lie to them, and the real Black Emperor was lurking in the meteorite belt, ready to lead the elite to raid from behind when they attacked the frontal Black Death Empire's Xuannuo Great Array.

The more I think about it, the more likely I feel.

At this time, Gloom Zero also reported that the fleet of the Xuannuo Great Array was also attacking, and he was under great pressure, but he would resolutely block the enemy and delay as much time as possible.

In the eyes of Hitomi, the report of the dark zero is simply a scene, why should the fleet of two million delay the fleet of fifteen million troops

Seeing that the Chinese army was about to be attacked from both sides, and his army was disheartened, morale was low, and it was not suitable to fight again, Hitomi immediately made up his mind, retreated first, and then made plans.

Pupil Fire ordered, all the generals of the Chinese army breathed a sigh of relief, they really need to ease up, Chang Ai's death in battle frightened many people, you must know that Chang Ai is the descendant of the Chang family, and in the future, he will either be a patriarch or a great elder, this kind of person is actually gilded in the army, even Chang Ai will hang up carelessly, how can other generals not be afraid.

The Chinese army began to retreat, and as for the Shenmu artillery plan, it could only be abandoned, everyone left, and the Shenmu artillery was inconvenient to transport, which affected the retreat speed of the army, and could only destroy the retreat.

Soon, Hitomi's command spread to the dark zero.

And at this moment, Gloom Zero is still trying to block the Black Emperor's attack.

He also knows the current situation of the whole army, so he wants to do his best to drag out the Black Emperor, as long as he can drag this side and prevent the armies of the Black Death Empire on both sides from forming a circle, then the danger of the Chinese army is actually not great.

He believed that as long as Hitomi launched a whole army to resist, with the strength of nearly 20 million troops of the Chinese army, would he not be able to defeat a fleet of the Black Death Empire, and even have a chance to counterattack in one fell swoop, if even the hidden forces of the Black Dead were wiped out in one fell swoop, then the entire Black Death Empire would inevitably be like an undefended lamb, and the road to conquest in the future would be smooth.

But he thought too beautifully, first of all, he miscalculated the degree of trust that Hitomi Huo had in him, Hitomi didn't believe that he could hold back the Black Emperor's army of tens of millions, and block the fifteen million army with two million head-on, just thinking about it made me feel terrifying, this was not a sneak attack, it was a head-on counterattack from the enemy's attack.

Secondly, Gloom Zero also miscalculated the entire Lingmu army, up to the generals, down to the soldiers' fear of the Black Death Empire hidden in the depths, his vanguard army was able to fight bravely in the face of the Black Death Empire, and it was related to his clear rewards and punishments, a large number of civilians, and capable generals, and the vanguard army can be said to be the only force that has had a head-on battle with the army of the Black Death Empire since the beginning of the war, whether it is in the eternal defense line, or the Xuannuo Great Array at this moment, they are the first to fight, so to speak, several life and death battles, These vanguard armies have been reborn, at least they will not be afraid when facing the army of the Black Empire, but will closely surround the dark zero, order and prohibit, and fight bravely.

When the retreat order reached Gloom's hand, Dim's face turned pale, his teeth biting his lip, and blood flowed out.

"The enemy has hidden troops, the number is huge, it is inevitable that the whole army will be caught in a two-sided attack, the original plan has been shelved, now I order, the whole army retreats, assemble in the Black Ice Galaxy, the Chinese army has withdrawn first, please make your own decision on the right time, immediately execute the order"

The number of words is not much, but the dark zero is resentful.

If it is a retreat under normal circumstances, there is naturally no problem, and the big deal is that he can fight again in the future, but now he is entangled by the Black Emperor here, and he can't get out at all for a while, and the Chinese army doesn't even send troops to respond, so he is desperately trying his best to delay the Black Emperor's army before this, and buy time for the Chinese army to destroy the other fleet.

This is not the most angry thing about Gloom Zero, what is even more angry is that if the Black Death Empire is ruthless, does not stop, and chases all the way, it is impossible for the Lingmu army that has given the order to retreat to turn around and face the battle, and the consequence is not to retreat to the Black Ice Galaxy, but may be chased all the way back to their hometown.
